I think you will find the results interesting</span> <span>and illuminating. </span>We may not have changed any votes or voters but we did see how much self awareness or the lack of it drives the election dynamics. Leading, not by urging or admonishing others, but by doing one's own inner work seems to open the door to changing the system in a positive way. The old saying, be the change you want to see in others, still holds true at every level of life. A shift toward resolution started when the Biden Democrats acknowledged and connected with their own shadow material. That movement inspired or gave space for the Trump Republicans to do the same which had a positive impact on the Elections. </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Keystone Conversations began at the 2017 NASC conference in Virginia Beach, USA and has been conducting bimonthly, online sessions on topics of interest to organizational constellation facilitators. During the call 35 persons were online for this collective constellation. However, an issue with zoom did keep others from being able to sign into the call. A collective constellation is a systemic tool for looking at organizational and social issues. We will use this tool to better understand the dynamics that have been showing up in society during this upcoming presidential election.</span><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Viewing current events from a systemic perspective we have to ask three questions: 1) Is WF a defense mechanism that prevents white people from seeing racism and feeling the impact it has on everyone within a social or organizational system? 2) If so, would it be possible to gain a radical understanding of that impact on each group within the affected system? 3) Would the systemic principle of radical inclusion, viewing all parts of a system without judgment or preconceptions, provide a way to gain understanding and instigate a healing movement? </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline;"><span face="" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">In view of the above questions Harrison and the Keystone Conversations team conducted a systemic constellation recently online with approximately 54 participants. The session opened with a brief presentation (see attached power points) on the definition of White Fragility. Participants were asked why they were drawn to explore this topic. And some measures, including a resourcing exercise, were conducted to foster a meaningful and emotionally supportive discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline;"><span face="" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Three groups were formed with 3 to 4 people per group. The group members were selected randomly and told they were part of the system of race relations. They were not told what part of the system they represented. In the mind of the facilitator group 1 represented the persecutors. Group 2 the victims of racism and group 3 the bystanders and rescuer’s. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span face="" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">A fourth group that included everyone not in the first three groups became the witnessing community. They were to hold space for what unfolded and not become directly involved. The groups were asked to turn off their videos and take a minute or two to feel into the sensations and emotions of their representations. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Starting with group 1 each group in turn was asked to reenter the zoom room</span><span face="" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">by turning their video back on.

No matter where people were in the system no one reported positive feelings about their place. Ironically, some in the group that represented the bystanders decided it was a good moment to go take a snack break or they lost connectivity and took time to get back online. The last group to turn their video back on was the largest, the witnessing community. At a certain point in the constellation they were asked to be fully present to what was unfolding for each of the other three groups without judgment or assumptions. </span><span face="" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Some of them were requested to voice healing statements like, “<i>I see you and your pain and</i> <i>suffering,”</i> to the other groups. Their supportive presence and these statements seemed to help those in the first three groups move through their difficult feelings and get closer to a degree of resolution. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">This witnessing community is not a new concept but part of Dr. Martin Luther King’s call for a </span><i style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Beloved Community</i><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> and the </span><i style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Vet’s Journey Home</i><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> process conducted by Edward Tick, PhD. Radically including those considered to be the persecutor as well as being present to those who are victims of a traumatic events can lead to a healing movement for all parts of a system. Bert Hellinger has written how grieving by all concerned supports the collective healing. Righteous judgment of the “other” stops that grieving. </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">In the conversations that took place after the constellation some themes emerged </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif;

Anyone who has been in a group, social or work related, knows that conflict in one form or another is likely to occur. Conflict in either setting can often be attributed to situations that are zero-summed. If I have things my way you cannot have them your way and vice-versa. If I believe in a certain goal and the relevant set of roles, processes, and values and you believe in a different goal and supporting factors then we have a win/lose scenario to work through. This is a structural conflict and it happens all the time in an organizational setting when courses of action are mutually exclusive.<o:p></o:p></div>

Non-structural conflict is less about differences that arise from opposing agendas or interests and more about differences related to personal qualities that may be harder to quantify. Person “x” rubs person “y” the wrong way. Person “y” responds in kind which convinces person “x” his initial feelings were justified. We may not know what the real issue is, but every interaction is used to confirm the narrative the two opponents have about each other. These narratives might involve two people, or they may be between two or more groups. Emotions escalate when assumptions or opinions related to the narrative are confused for facts and are used by the “we” to label the “they.”</div>

In this type of “we – they” conflict, the effect is more visible than the cause. This makes it hard to resolve. Both sides tend to cite a personality conflict or believe they are working with a difficult person or toxic boss. And while we don’t discount this polarity out of hand there may be another explanation. What is showing up as “the problem” may actually be a symptom. The cause could be any number of factors that are tucked away in the past. A past that is long forgotten or denied but still energetically alive and present in the system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Organizations are groups of people and like any group they possess a collective awareness that affects and is affected by the members. A significant event or dysfunction in the life of the organization that has never been fully resolved or put to rest will continue to be energetically present even after those who participated in the event have retired or left. If you have visited a battlefield, many years after the fighting occurred, you may have noticed the intensity of feeling that still lingers in the area. The impressions of pain, fear and anger or shame felt by thousands of people or even a few dozen can be deep and long lasting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
These feelings are the feelings of the victim. Anyone (which is just about everyone) who has some predisposition for those feelings can have them activated by a traumatized environment. The collective trauma or dysfunction may be years in the past but a part of it can continue to resonate within each person’s own individual or family system. When potent feelings are activated the mind looks for a cause. Someone has to be the persecutor who poses a threat or a disappointment. Justified or not, that someone is unconsciously nominated for that role. Often, it is the immediate authority figure. In a charged environment it is easy to trigger the projective tendencies of the mind and then seek to enroll others in that projection. <o:p></o:p></div>

In systemic organizational development every part of the system should be respected and heard. As facilitators we give space for difficult, even painful symptoms to be expressed. And, beyond the “we versus they” polarity we look for the underlying yet hidden cause that may be affecting the present. In one organization a mid-level leader was puzzled by the perennial disconnection between management and staff. While he did everything, he could think of to empower staff and support senior leadership there was a general sense of malaise and disillusionment in the organization that refused to be dispelled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Typically, staff disparaged leadership and felt misused by their perceived lack of vision and drive. Leadership kept looking for ways to relate to staff and foster a one-team ethos but felt rebuffed despite their good-faith efforts. The question was asked if there was some event that overwhelmed the ability of those present to cope? The organization was many years older than the longest tenured member and no event in the last twenty some years could be recalled. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Systemically mapping the dynamics of the organization revealed a bond between staff and some unknown factor that embodied vulnerability. Staff felt protective towards this factor as if it was an abandoned child. While the leadership had access to the authority and collective purpose needed to lead for some unknown reason it neglected to draw upon those critical factors. It did want to relate to staff but more as a partner than a supervisor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Staff impatiently demanded that leadership lead. Leadership, unable to foster a collaborative relationship with staff seemed demoralized and withdrawn. The general message taken from the exercise was the reminder that some clichés still apply; leadership is not a popularity contest. There are times and situations that call for directive leadership. Staff may not like the directives or the leaders who issue them. Push back of some form is often unavoidable. Ironically, in trying to mitigate this pushback the leadership’s lack of resolve and firmness added to the sense of discontent that seemed to grip staff. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The missing factor in this system was the sense of safety that comes when leadership is trusted to fully embrace its role. Power that is abdicated by a parent, especially when the child is testing the limits, does not foster togetherness in the family system. The same phenomena are true in the organizational system. Delegating decision making authority before someone is ready to take on that authority or allowing a lack of clarity about who makes what decision can foster a sense of abandonment and vulnerability and the resentment of being set up to fail. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It’s possible the organizational dysfunction the middle level manger noticed was a recapitulation of a common family dysfunction. While we might not find a specific traumatic event to cite as the underlying cause a long history of leadership abdication would also have a detrimental effect. History becomes culture and culture as we know consumes good intentions for lunch. The way towards a healthy workplace culture clearly starts with the leadership team. An in-depth intervention would identify and transform the internal blocks to exercising leadership, including limiting attitudes and beliefs. The team’s capacity to lead could be developed not only by learning new skills, but also by systemically strengthening the resilience and confidence that capable leaders embody. <o:p></o:p></div>

storied history that was long considered the model for how a business can thrive through skilled leadership and a strong culture. GE’s different divisions make a wide range of products to include: jet engines, medical devices, drilling equipment, power generation, Insurance, and healthcare. The traditional benefit of a conglomerate is its ability to weather cyclic downturns because different sectors may be in different stages of a cycle. Losses in one sector can be offset with profits in another sector </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br />Yet, somehow during an historic business expansion after the 2008 financial panic, GE managed to underperform its competitors and the stock market overall. Some of the bad news for GE includes a stock price that lost 61% of its value while the stock market increased its value a 185%. This translated into a loss of 175 billion dollars in market evaluation over two years. The GE dividend is now at four cents per share and its stock is no longer listed on S&P 500. Cash flow from profitable divisions goes into servicing the debt accumulated by the underperforming divisions.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
John Clupp, the current CEO, was brought in to turn around GE. An outsider, he must win over employees to his vision for the company. He replaced John Flannery who was fired by the board after a one-year tenure. Flannery tried to reduce the complexity in the areas of organization, finance and staffing that made running GE a management challenge. His predecessor, Jeffery Immelt, was forced out after a sixteen-year tenure, in part, because of a series of mergers and acquisitions that proved to have more costs than benefits. Criticized for being fad driven, the top dollar prices he paid resulted in what is known as poor capital allocation; which included buying back GE stock at high prices. His predecessor, Jack Welch, was considered by many to be an iconic business leader who guided GE through a long period of profitable growth. However, Welch was nicknamed, Neutron Jack, for his HR policies that supposedly eliminated staff while keeping infrastructure intact. He was also an advocate of the “rank and yank” policy that automatically fired staff ranked at the bottom ten percent of all performance evaluations.<o:p></o:p></div>

The two questions the Washington DC Organizational Constellation group sought to answer after reviewing the data presented above were: What key factors were responsible for GE’s decline? If those factors were identified what measures could be taken to truly turn GE around? While issues such as poor capital allocation certainly affected GE’s bottom line they were seen to be <i>symptoms of the problem</i>and not the actual problem. <o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p> </o:p>GE employees lots of smart, educated and capable people. The GE culture supports, at least in principle, “speaking truth to power.” How did they, at least at the headquarters level, manage to keep making the same mistakes; chasing fads that resulted in poor capital allocation? Was there insular thinking that meant they were somehow out of touch with the dramatic changes taking place in the business world? </div>

GE has taken steps to shake up C-suite management and the board, institute a leaner workforce and reduce financial complexity. Would this bring about the necessary change whatever that might be to revitalize the company?<o:p></o:p></div>

The group of participants conducting this analysis included two shareholders, a potential shareholder and a former employee. One of the shareholders had been impacted by the decline in the stock price. Was there hope for a turnaround or should he cut his losses? <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
The group brainstormed a list of systemic factors that might be impacting GE. The factors that seemed most relevant included: former CEO Jack Welch, the new CEO, staff affected by the “rank and yank” policy, previous nuclear power programs and the associated toxic waste, the GE conglomerate business model, something not apparent that was the root cause of the downward spiral, and the GE management ethos. The nuclear power issue was unexpectedly raised by the former GE employee who participated in the exercise. Although it was something no one else had heard about the issue seemed relevant so the participants decided to include a representative for it in the constellation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
The members of the group each agreed to represent one of the identified factors and found a spot in the meeting room that seem to be their place. Two groups formed and stood about 15 feet apart. The smaller group was Jack Welch and the toxic waste from the nuclear program. Another person joined them to represent the people affected by the radiation. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
Welch reported he felt distant from GE but concerned about what was happening there. Near the GE group but not in it was the new CEO. He observed their interactions with a degree of objectivity and detachment. In the GE group the representative for those affected by the HR policy was bent over and turned away from the others. The business model moved slowly towards the management ethos. She eventually she stood in front of the ethos wanting to know what the company stood for now. Ethos and the affected staff did not look at her and the new leader. Nuclear waste left her small group and moved slowly over to the side of management ethos as if looking for something. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<o:p> </o:p>Nothing happened until Welch moved closer to the GE group and claimed responsibility (for his part) for the HR policies and management ethos and how that had affected people. When that occurred the staff, who were bent over, stood up and turned to face the rest of the company. The shadow root cause realized he was hubris. He was “the best” and always knew better than anyone else. He represented a long history of excessive pride and arrogance that led to bad decisions and a lack of self-accountability. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: right;">

When management ethos saw how hubris was a part of his persona it was able to become humbler and more connected to the others in group. Ethos acknowledged what happened to the “ranked and yanked” staff and the victims of the toxic waste. Both ethos and business model looked at John Clupp to answer the question, <i>who are we now?</i>The new CEO seemed relieved this question had been asked. And he appeared ready to work in partnership with the rest of company to forge the answer. <o:p></o:p></div>

After the participants de-roled from the exercise they discussed what they took from the experience. The answers to the two questions had a lot to do with the corporate culture that Welch was instrumental in creating and the policies and structure that supported it. <o:p></o:p></div>

Hubris not only fosters poor decision making; it prevents people from learning from their mistakes. “Being the best” can easily warp into “looking the best” and not admitting or addressing mistakes. Clearly over the last few years, this emperor had no clothes. But there was no way to confront the issue and how it was impacting decision making as long as hubris was an unacknowledged part of the management ethos. <o:p></o:p></div>

Restoring the GE brand according the results of this exercise starts with changing the culture. This change requires a collective and honest look at the ethos of “being the best” and how that shaped workplace behavior. Pride can be source of strength. Hubris never is. But it’s difficult to know the difference once hubris takes root. The new CEO has the opportunity to inspire the shift towards humility. During the exercise the dysfunctional ethos became more open to the change effort the new CEO needs to lead. This openness grew as parts of the company’s dysfunctional past were brought to light and acknowledged. Obviously, some corporate soul searching is called for. This soul searching would likely be more accepted if the champion of that effort was an insider, like Walsh, who helped shaped the past dynamic that is affecting GE’s present performance.<o:p></o:p></div>

The unexpected issue of nuclear waste was intriguing. Any waste that was a public health hazard likely occurred decades ago. The fact that it showed up in the constellation asking to be seen and acknowledged does not mean some kind of malfeasance actually took place. But it does indicate a potential issue that needs to be researched. That research would answer the question if there is a past that should be uncovered and remediated. <o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p> </o:p>The possible victims of the toxic waste, along with the “ranked and yanked” staff could be two groups who might be still be energetically part of the current system. Given GE’s poor performance one has to ask if there was an unconscious compensation at work to atone for those who were disadvantaged or hurt by abusive or shortsighted corporate policies and culture? </div>

About two weeks after the above exercise the writer of this article came across a blog, <i>Contrarian </i><i>Edge</i>, written by investment analyst, Vitaliy Katsenelson. According to Katsenelson, GE’s management thought they could dramatically improve any company they acquired through a process known as Six Sigma. Their confidence in their abilities was such that they did not worry much about the initial acquisition costs. Katsenelson also faulted Jack Welch for his near obsessive focus on quarterly results. Welch left GE years nearly two decades ago but his values apparently still predominate as part of the management ethos. The focus on beating Wall Street earnings estimate each quarter likely made short-term thinking and short-sighted behaviors part of the institutional norm. Revising the GE culture and establishing a<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">corporate </span><i>modus operandi</i>based on greater humility and longer-term thinking should be one of John Clupp’s priorities as he seeks to rebuild the GE brand and its performance.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

On January 26, 2018, members of the Chesapeake Bay Organizational Development Network (CBODN) facilitated a public session to explore the dynamics between the USA and North Korea. The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/article_email/amid-signs-of-a-thaw-in-north-korea-tensions-bubble-up-1515427541-lMyQjAxMTE4MjA0ODMwNjgyWj/">Wall Street Journal</a> had recently reported that the Trump Administration was seriously considering the “bloody nose” option of a limited conventional strike to break the standoff between the two countries and initiate meaningful negotiations. Obviously, this option was considered high risk, by a number of commenters, given the level of retaliation that would likely follow. The other option was diplomatic engagement with the threat of increased sanctions. However, years of diplomatic efforts and sanctions had so far failed completely to persuade NK to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Between the two extremes was the current situation of uncertainty and ambiguity. Both states were engaged in the boasts, insults, threats, and justifications of classical saber rattling that often precedes an outbreak of hostilities. As professionals who work to resolve conflicts in large systems, the CBODN members felt called to utilize their tools and expertise to look for potential solutions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The analytic tool chosen for the exploration was a process known as systemic constellations. The tool is based on systems thinking and embodied learning theory. Once the analytical question is clearly articulated the key actors in the system are identified. Representatives for those actors are selected and placed spatially in relationship to each other in a way that replicates the current dynamic within the system. Various scenarios based on a tentative hypothesis are introduced and observed to see how they play out. As described in the book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDQLXJW?ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_XNNvzbPS6KGE6&tag=kpembed-20&linkCode=kpe"><i>Confessions of a Corporate Shaman</i></a>, the process is used to explore individual, organizational and social issues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The tool offers a heuristic for “going to the balcony” and enabling a meta-level perspective that might reveal previously unseen connections and motivations. While the tool is similar in some respects to scenario planning it also possesses an embodied, learning component which may uncover new insights not conceptualized by other means that are solely cognitive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The primary analytic questions we asked ourselves was about the viability of military force versus diplomacy to resolve the crisis. Was the USA serious about the bloody nose option? What would happen if the USA did implement that option? Were there unknown factors that, if brought to consciousness, might open new possibilities for reconciliation? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our group of participants included two Americans who had spent time in South Korea for business and defense-related purposes and one South Korean who was involved in monitoring the status of human rights in North Korea. The other participants had little experience with the region but were aware of the rising tensions between the two countries and concerned about the ramifications. Ironically, the group supported analysis was conducted in a meeting room just a few blocks from the State Department in Washington DC.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Three people were set up to represent South Korea (SK), North Korea (NK) and the United States (USA) and begin the analytic process. NK took its place in the middle of the room and stood staring at the USA. The USA paced back and forth on one side of the room glancing furtively at NK. These behaviors arose spontaneously in the representatives without any premeditation or acting as if. SK moved to a place behind NK and stood there at a distance observing the dynamic between the USA and NK with a demeanor of helpless despair. The tension in the room grew. NK glared defiantly but did not move as a worried looking USA continued to pace. NK reported feeling powerful and in control but not happy about its power.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://cdn3.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/980x551/public/images/methode/2017/04/16/6e1a4962-223e-11e7-ba38-4217a96bb749_1280x720_122604.jpg?itok=dHYTpB2e" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="179" src="https://cdn3.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/980x551/public/images/methode/2017/04/16/6e1a4962-223e-11e7-ba38-4217a96bb749_1280x720_122604.jpg?itok=dHYTpB2e" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides tension, there was also a sense of pain in the room. A representative was placed off to the side for the traumas people had experienced in the region. It was pointed out that besides WWII, the Korean War, and human rights abuses in NK, Japan had a long history of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule">intervening in Korea</a> including its occupation of the county from 1910 to 1945. NK refused to look at or acknowledge the pain brought on by these collective traumas. The only thing that mattered was holding on to its power because power meant survival.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the representative for collective trauma was given a place SK moved to the side of the USA. They both paced while NK watched impassively. They had the sense that this standoff favored NK. A representative for China was brought in. China stood facing the right side of NK. He reported feeling annoyed with the USA. Why should he disadvantage himself for the sake of the USA? It did not serve China’s national interest to see this issue resolved. The two Koreas united under the influence of the USA would be a threat. As long as China was part of this situation the sanctions on NK would never be fully implemented. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The USA seemed at a loss for what to do and stopped pacing. SK judged that the USA was not a reliable partner and did not have sufficient resolve to deal with NK successfully. A representative for the “bloody nose” option was brought in. She also felt the USA and SK were too weak to act on their own. She sought help from China but was rebuffed. Finally, after a period of uncertainty and confusion, she snatched the purse next to NK that represented the nuclear weapons. NK scoffed at the USA, declaring that object was just a decoy. She still had plenty of weapons the USA could not reach or find. NK reported feeling contemptuous towards the USA and its ineffectual use of force. Surprisingly, NK did not feel the need to immediately retaliate.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
SK moved closer to NK shying away from the USA. SK communicated that what they needed was a parent-like figure who would be a supportive witness to their discussion without taking sides. Conflict resolution expert, William Ury, advocates in his book, <a href="https://www.beyondintractability.org/bksum/ury-third">The Third Side</a>, the best means for resolving conflict is not force, but an arrangement that gives a place for those affected yet not engaged in the conflict. A person who represented the historical Korea that was united for many centuries was placed nearby as that parent figure. SK offered he had always believed he was the elder brother, but actually, NK was the elder brother. He respected his elder brother and wanted to find a way to live in harmony supported by the parent figure. NK was not sure if she could believe SK. It seemed to her SK was being too conciliatory. What NK wanted more than anything was respect. Brotherly felicity was not something she related to. But she began to soften just a bit and in that softening noticed the pain of the collective traumas which she had long ignored. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the potential for rapprochement grew between NK and SK, China reported losing interest. As SK continued to acknowledge NK’s place and importance NK reported her eyes were beginning to open and she could see SK and the other nations with less rigidity. The USA and China stood back and allowed the rapprochement to continue. SK offered NK money and assistance. NK did not take it. SK and NK looked at their parent figure. Both were willing to consider the figure as a part of their future as well as their past. SK was emotionally touched by NK willingness to engage with him and the parent figure. As that engagement unfolded the tension in the room was slowly replaced by a feeling of connection and shared humanity. NK did not understand this appeal to humanity and brotherhood. Her bottom line was still being respected in a way that insured her power. But she was willing to move in small increments towards SK in response to his overtures. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The facilitator ended the analysis at that point of resolution. During the discussions afterward, the participants who were new to this process reported their surprise in the depth of feeling and insight that arose spontaneously. It was agreed that the “bloody nose” option and the increased sanctions had little chance of resolving the issue. NK was not going to give up its nuclear weapons as a result of limited and unilateral, military force or multilateral, economic coercion. While it came as a surprise that NK did not retaliate the “bloody nose” strike the lack of any movement to negotiate with the USA seemed to support its futility as an option.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<a href="https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2RJB3SF4SY45VMRKW7BBJAZ3Y4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="212" src="https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2RJB3SF4SY45VMRKW7BBJAZ3Y4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The one possibility that held promise was the rapprochement between NK and SK through the aegis of their shared history as one country. Interestingly, after this analysis was conducted SK pursued engagement with NK not only in talks that did not include the USA. but also through a unified woman’s ice hockey team at the Winter Olympics, a cheerleading squad and a delegation that included Kim Jong Un's sister.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If these joint activities will continue after the Olympics or what they might lead to is obviously not known. NK will likely continue to see nuclear weapons as essential to its survival. Money gained from any form of economic cooperation with SK would doubtlessly go into those programs. A unified Korea on South Korean terms would naturally be in the interests of the USA. While this is a long shot it may be a more viable option than the others which have not worked or entail extremely high levels of risk. President Trump did admit that the use of force would be <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/23/trump-talks-north-korea-sanctions-and-nuclear-weapons-program.html">"very unfortunate" for the world</a>. While this analysis did show that USA was willing to use force, that was limited in scope, NK scoffed at its impact.<br />
<br />
This leaves the option of engagements that support a peaceful unification as the most viable path forward. This option could be dubbed the East-West Germany scenario. NK is a very different county than East Germany yet there are contextual similarities, such as the presence of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/02/21/the-next-korea-problem-may-be-about-the-growing-identity-divide-on-the-korean-peninsula/">30,000 NK defectors</a> in the South from North Korea. While China would likely try to block any movement that benefited the USA it did step back when the two Koreas began to dialogue with each other. It would be useful to explore through another systemic analysis the impact the active engagement between the two Koreas might have on the nuclear issue with the USA. A key question for the USA would be how it could best foster that engagement in its interactions with NK, SK, China and other nations in the region.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">EQi offers a
profound way to enhance self-understanding. This understanding covers our
capacity to know and manage our emotional state and our capacity to know and
interact effectively with the emotional state of others. The EQi self-assessment
is a handy tool for gaining more self-knowledge – keeping in mind the
limitations of any assessment of the self, by the self.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAZNKlEQhiFpufv-bKYoVn_CbwxDGIAOiomPPZidbCYjfOMOWXfi6o60pI0ojgwe0fZMHwgIf-B02mPdcDM-ksDeQ-dG0O358Wbd_n8zAHETyoaYHfCAMGLLGEWWlD61vqN437lnLYYk/s1600/new+worlds.jpeg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAZNKlEQhiFpufv-bKYoVn_CbwxDGIAOiomPPZidbCYjfOMOWXfi6o60pI0ojgwe0fZMHwgIf-B02mPdcDM-ksDeQ-dG0O358Wbd_n8zAHETyoaYHfCAMGLLGEWWlD61vqN437lnLYYk/s1600/new+worlds.jpeg.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">What EQi workshops
generally lack is a methodology for developing our competencies in emotional
awareness and management related to self and others. Tips like count to ten or
take a break when you are high-jacked by your amygdala, the place in the brain
that controls fight, flight or freeze, are helpful but hardly revolutionary.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Possessing a
healthy level of EQi is extolled as an essential capacity for inspiring
leadership. <i>“People may not remember what you said but they will remember how your
words made them feel.”</i> While experts
agree that we can develop our EQi over time, there is scant agreement about the
most viable means. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The paucity
of methods for developing EQi are both cultural and personal. Western culture values
the intellect. Our schooling stresses analytical methods that assign numeric
values. <br />
While this objective approach has been the mainstay of technological
advancements the more subjective approaches of spirit, emotion and physical
sensation have been marginalized. We can
land people on the moon but we can’t inspire people to get along with each
other on earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Fortunately,
new methods of conscious leadership are emerging that will enable us to develop
our EQi. These methods are based on a deeper understanding of how we interact
with our inner emotional landscape, the impact of hot buttons and trauma and
the influence of family systems. If we
use and practice these methodologies our leadership capacities that draw upon
our emotional and creative intelligences will deepen. We will have more access
to the creative impulses that enable us to inspire in others collaborative and
productive actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The first
step of EQi development is understanding our emotional landscape. There are six
basic emotions; anger, fear, sadness, joy, sexual (which is associated with
creativity by some experts) and shame. The first five have been a part of human
behavior from the earliest days of mankind.
More complex emotions are combinations of the basic six. For example,
guilt could be mix of anger and fear. The emotion of shame was a more recent
development. It has the function of stopping action that is considered socially
unacceptable. Shame seems so toxic because, according to Robert Bly, we only
need a thimble full yet end up with buckets of it. Those who pour the most on
others do so to avoid looking at their own inner burden of shame. <br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Our emotions
and the sensations in our bodies are related. If we can sense somatically what
is happening internally we more accurately sense our current emotional state. Emotions
are energy. Energy wants be in motion. If we unconsciously contract and tense
up when anger arises that energy stays bottled up. At some point, if the
pressure is too great, it releases in an uncontrolled manner, an explosion, and
causes harm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Mastering
this mind/body connection take practice. Being able to identify and express
what we are feeling and the associated sensations develops one of the primary EQi
competencies; emotional self-awareness. As we become more skilled in accessing and
moving the internal energy of emotions our ability to connect with our innate,
creative intelligence deepens; enhancing our ability to innovate and respond to
our environment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The second
domain of EQi, relating emotionally to others, requires we go deeper in our
journey of self-awareness. Hot buttons, blind spots, compulsions and addictions
are places where we operate on automatic pilot. This pilot is not intelligent.
It does the same thing, responding the same way to a stimulus, no matter what
the results. Mastering this domain calls upon the competencies of self-reflection
and personal responsibility. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Examining
those automatic reactions to a certain stimulus is difficult. It is much easier
to blame the stimulus, that annoying person who cuts you off in traffic, then
take responsibility for the road rage that emerges. If we are willing to look
deeper, through self-reflection, we might find a disowned or forgotten part of
our self that is seeking attention. Those parts may have at one time a positive
function that helped us cope or even survive. Like old software they were never updated. Now
they only manage to clog up our operating system; producing automatically and
unconsciously the opposite of what we want and hope for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One sign of
obsolete software is a “hot button;” a small behavior or incident that triggers
a disproportionate emotional reaction within us. We don’t decide to react. It
happens automatically. Later we regretfully wonder why we “lost it” and
overreacted. Somehow, the adult in us
disappeared and a raging or frightened or grieving or placating childlike
sub-personality took over. If we hold a safe space for our emotions and
sensations the door to our subconscious open might open and reveal the source
of this button. Often we will find a disruptive event. The button was a
reasonable even intelligent response to what happened in the past. Bringing all
this to conscious awareness also brings about an updating of the person’s
operating system. To paraphrase Carl Jung, what was hidden in the subconscious
and how it played out in our life is no longer considered fate. New
possibilities and choices become accessible. <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ironically,
this personal dynamic for change also shows up in groups and organizations. The
mind can propose all kinds of reasons and motivations for change but little
happens because the emotional context and its relationship to the subconscious
are overlooked. If change, personal or collective, was a democratic process
with a hundred votes; the conscious mind would have ten votes and the
subconscious the other ninety. The boss can give orders to the conscious mind,
however the subconscious decides on the extent they will be complied with. This
begs the question; are we always at the invisible mercy of the individual or
collective subconscious mind? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thankfully,
no. There is a way we can bring to awareness
and work with this hidden context. The
way is called systemic mapping. It is also known as organizational or systemic
constellations. Moving material from the subconscious to conscious awareness is
a significant competency that often takes outside assistance. Without that movement
most change efforts don’t go very far or soon return to where they started. The
competency of “seeing yourself” is akin to waking up. When people gain enough
psychological space to see how the component parts of themselves and others interrelate
something shifts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This process
makes what has long been unseen, seen. It starts with a clear and concise
statement of the issue or problem being explored and the desired outcome. Developing this statement is a significant
intervention in itself. Keeping the statement in mind the problem or issue is
discussed and the key components of the system it resides in are identified.
Representatives are selected for those components and positioned spatially to
illustrate how they relate to each other. Most issues or problems are symptoms.
They call attention to and even may have even been a way to cope with a past
trauma or a disruptive event. As mentioned before, hot buttons, blind spots or
addictions show up as ways to cope. Using systemic mapping the relevant events
are identified and the associated feelings are addressed. Word or phases are
provided that restore the harmony between the different parts of the system.
When inner harmony is restored energy in the form of emotions can move more freely;
enhancing our EQi and enabling more intelligence, insight and relatedness. Dysfunctional
ways of coping loosen their grip. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

these concepts and tools on our own but the most effective way to master them
is engaging with others in a structured and facilitated learning
environment. We believe we are isolated individuals
and it up to us on our own to resolve our dilemmas and issues. That sense of
isolation feels as hard and real as any rock on the road, yet there is the more
encompassing truth of our connectedness and how we co-create reality. The
anchor points of our problems and limitations are not only in us, they exist
simultaneously in our family, linage, group and society. In a group setting we
can access those multiple anchor points and facilitate insight and change with
greater efficacy and ease than struggling on our own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The media
had been filled with reports of rioting in Baltimore in May, 2015 sparked by
the death of a young black man in police custody.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t have a crystal ball but the workshop
scheduled that month to explore the hidden dynamics of race suddenly became a
timely topic. More than
thirty people showed up; about a third African American; the rest Caucasian and
one woman from Afghanistan. Eight or nine people in the group were familiar
with constellation work. The rest had not heard of the process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After
introductions we discussed why we had come that night. One white man spoke
about how people were dying and it was time to put a stop to it. An
African-American woman objected that the term “people” was too generic. Young
black men were being killed by police. Her nephew had been killed by the San
Francisco police over a two-dollar ticket. The tension in the room started to
build. Another man, black, spoke about the elephant of racism. No one talks
about it yet it was there in our society and affecting his life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />I replied we
would be looking at that elephant but not with our verbal, thinking mind. That
part of the mind was prone to staying stuck in the same story based on judgments
and preconceptions. If we used the non-verbal mind, the part that is present to
“what is” in a quiet and open manner, we might assess a deeper, more felt-sense
level of understanding. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />I led the
group through a paired exercise to demonstrate our subconscious connection with
each other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two volunteers stood a few
feet apart. One person, who volunteered to be the issue holder, touched the
other with the intention that the person represented a challenging person in
his or her life. The issue holder started to cry. I asked her to step back a
few feet. She did and stopped crying. The representative was looking down,
impassive. I asked the issue holder to say to the representative, “I see you
and I agree to what is.” Immediately there was shift in the energy. The
representative looked up at the issue holder. They both felt better and better
about each other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The verbal mind holds
on to the past or fears the future, I explained to the group. Our non-verbal
mind, however, is able to let go and be in the “now” that contains new insights
and possibilities. Belief and experience continually reinforce each other.
Switching to a non-verbal mode of thinking and experiencing is one way to
breakout of that continuous loop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />After
everyone experienced the impact of looking a difficulty and agreeing to “what
is” we started the constellation. I had a stack of cards with words written on
them that related to the dynamics of racism. We brainstormed others. I
explained how trauma that occurred generations ago can affect the current
generation. I had been in Israel over the New Year and attended a conference
with Germans and Israelis. They had all been born after WWII yet still felt
deeply burdened by the legacy of the Holocaust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pain and guilt, anger and shame filled the room when that subject was
raised. Confronting that pain and the victim/perpetrator dynamic that lived
within them was emotionally overwhelming. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Openly facing those intense feelings allowed a
sense of wholeness and healing to emerge for both groups. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span>I called for our volunteers and gave each one
a card. Since we were doing a blind constellation I asked them not to look at
what was written on their card and just trust the sensations and feelings they
felt during the process. I did this to keep us honest and preclude anyone
acting how they thought they were supposed to act according to their
preconceptions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />Perpetrator,
Victim, Observer and Rescuer took their cards and found their places in the
open space in the center of the room. Within a minute the man, a Caucasian, holding
the victim card slowly went down to the floor reporting that he felt he was
being split open and eviscerated. The Rescuer and Observer moved closer to him.
The Perpetrator turned away and started at the wall. I asked those sitting in
their chairs who were not yet participating to keep breathing and stay with the
tension and discomfort in the room. The Victim may have felt bad but he was in
control of what was happening and could withdrawal as a representative if the
experience became too intense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked others,
if they felt inspired, to join the representatives. One person joined the
Perpetrator. Three people joined the Victim. One laying down beside him and two
others standing close by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I handed each
a card. One was Oppression and Humiliation. Another Cultural Expropriation. The
third, Exclusion. I kept extending the invitation and others stepped in taking
the cards; Africa, Benefits (from the slave system), Projecting Shadow Material
on to Others, Heroes who Advocated Human Rights, Hidden Payoff, and Ancestors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />Finally, I
asked the Perpetrators to turn about and face the Victims. They were unable to
tell the Victims that they saw them. I put someone in to represent their
Mother. At first they were distant. I asked the Mother to tell the Perpetrators
she always had a place for them in her heart and would be there for them no
matter what. Gradually, the Perpetrators moved closer to their Mother. They
still looked confused, disorientated and in pain. In a low voice, held by their
Mother they were finally able to tell the Victims that they saw them and their
suffering. The Victims reported they felt better, lighter and more
peaceful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I did not know you were
human,” One of the Perpetrators whispered. “They told me you weren’t, but I see
now you have feelings like me.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />I called the participants who were still seated
to come stand as group where they could best see the constellation. They were
representing American society. “We see what happened and how you suffered,” I
asked them to say. “And we won’t forget you and your suffering.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked two young women in the group to
represent the Future. Maybe someday in the future this issue would be
considered resolved and other concerns would be a priority. I asked them to
tell the people caught up in the issue they would not forget them and their
suffering and to have faith that the future would be a better place. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bringing the constellation to a close I asked
the representatives to look at the cards and share their experiences with the
larger group. The feelings they felt and the impulses they had to move or say
something were in align with the parts of the system they had been assigned.
Ancestors had been just one person. She went back and forth between distain for
the victims and compassion and concern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My sense was she alternated between the different sets of ancestors and the
radically different attitudes they possessed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The representative for the Heroes who Advocated Human Rights said she
was focused on and concerned about everyone and not just the victims. The woman
who had been the Mother smiled and added that Martin Luther King had said he
was there not to just set the Negro free but to free everyone from the chains
of prejudice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The woman whose nephew had
been killed by police spoke. She had once seen a cage
where slaves were kept. Now she saw that everyone was in that cage no matter
what role they played. Everyone was hurting and diminished in some way by slavery
and its legacy. In the closing circle people stood beaming at each other. They
had been willing to experience something that was upsetting. Behavioral science
tells us people are hardwired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Yet the
participants chose to go through this process. In return, they came away with a
deeper insight into the dynamics of slavery and its impact on our society. Acknowledging
what happened and agreeing to “what is” would not bring education and jobs to
the inner cities. But it just might be a small step towards releasing the “frozen
past” from the collective unconscious that underlies the social patterns of
hopelessness and violence. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A political constellation was conducted to look at the issue of fostering peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Specially, the focus question was how can America enhance its role in fostering peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians? While the historical roots of the conflict go back 3 millenniums American involvement dates back to the middle of the twenty century after the British withdrawal from Palestine. Our official efforts to broker peace started in earnest after the 1967 war. The high water mark of those efforts was realized in September 17, 1978 by President Carter when a treaty between Israel and Egypt was signed by<span style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> <span lang="EN">Menachem Begin</span></span><span lang="EN"> </span>and Anwar El Sadat at Camp David. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While there have been other successes, such as the establishment of the Palestinian Authority through the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 1995 and the initiation of the “two-state solution,” a viable and lasting peace has yet to be realized. Despite significant investments of time, talent and money in the region by the American government for close to half a century peace has yet to breakout. Why should we care? Why should we even keep trying? Three numbers: 9/11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>American diplomats in the Middle East have admitted that our fate is tied to the fate of the Palestinian people. As long as the conflict remains unresolved the stability of a very unstable region will be even more at risk. The resolution of the conflict, even partial steps in that direction like the Camp David Accords, represent huge foreign policy victories for the incumbent US administration and reduce the threat to our homeland security. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">8 participants attended a political constellation session to explore this issue. Most had limited experience as representatives. Only one besides the facilitator had spent time in Israel or West Bank/Gaza.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Warm up constellations were conducted to help familiarize the participants with the energetic aspects of being in a state of conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actual personal conflicts that participants were experiencing were constellated. The participants appreciated the insights they gained. The facilitator emphasized that the archetype of conflict between individuals or groups is visceral and personal. Most of us can relate to polarized dynamics of conflict that are felt as helplessness or powerful and fearful or angry. These feelings are usually played out in roles or projections around victim, perpetrator or rescuer. The warm up constellations demonstrated that when we more objective about the conflict and less caught up in our judgments and feelings new possibilities surface that provide more insight and even resolution. Would it be possible to apply this principle to conflicts between groups over scarce resources like land and water?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The participants brainstormed on the number of different “actors” involved in Israeli-Palestinian conflict and came up about 25. The list was narrowed down to a top 8 that included: Israeli settlers, Israeli Palestinians, Israelis, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, holy sites (sacred to Christian, Jewish, Islam and other religions), the Holocaust, the American public and the international community. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The representatives were handed cards with one of the groups written on it but asked to hold off looking at the cards so they did not know which group they represented. Then they were told to find their place and stand there with no agenda but to notice what they noticed. The group arranged itself in the following manner (image to be inserted) </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While still in the mode of a blind constellation the representatives were asked to report out. The representative for the Israeli Palestinians felt anxious and upset. The Holocaust felt a connection with the person behind her but also heavy and detached. The group circled up in the middle seemed interested in each other while the Israelis and Palestinians watched in a somewhat detached manner from a distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another unnamed representative (Sol) was added who felt drawn to the Palestinians and moved to where he could stand beside her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He expressed the felt sense that she was key to a positive outcome. The group was asked to notice what shifted with the addition of the new representative. The US felt very attached to the representative for the Holocaust and moved close beside her. The Israeli Palestinians felt somewhat better and turned towards the group. All the representatives were asked to look at their cards and say who they were. The new representative was a solution that leads to peace. He felt that the Israelis themselves would need to come to terms with and acknowledge the trauma of the Holocaust. (image to be inserted)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">With this acknowledgment the Holocaust was able to turn and feel more connected to the group. Another representative (48/67) was added to represent the trauma of the Palestinians who were expelled from their homeland in 1948 and 1967. When he was added the representative for the Israeli Palestinian felt much better. The solution stated that both Palestinians and the Israelis needed to see and acknowledge the pain and trauma of their past. However, neither of the two felt much interest in relating to their own or the other’s painful past. The American public felt almost obsessively protective of the Holocaust. She realized that her fixation gave her a sense of moral superiority. <br />
As long as she held on to that payoff she could not see the others, their sufferings or the solution. The solution could see and felt connected to Israelis, Palestinians and Israel Palestinians and their respective traumas.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">During the closing debrief it was stated that the shift that needed to occur to enhance Americas effectiveness in facilitating peace was about letting go of its sense of moral superiority. It was not clear exactly where this sense came from, perhaps from its role as a defeater of Nazi Germany or feeling like the protector and rescuer of those who suffered from the Holocaust. However, until the American public was able to acknowledge the oppression and suffering of every group in the system, it could not expect the Israelis and the Palestinians to acknowledge and grieve the suffering they have experienced and caused each other. This mutual acknowledgement on an emotional level would help open up the space for real negotiations and the resulting agreements that both sides could live with.</div></o:p></span><o:p> </o:p><br />

Since 2002 DC’s Metro system has accounted for 42% of rail track worker fatalities nationwide. There have been 17 deaths in the last 5 years. Passenger and worker injury and fatalities are higher than in other jurisdictions. The overall level of safety is considered sub par. <br />
<br />
Question: Given there is a safety problem, what can be done to make the system safer? <br />
<br />
Problem areas: Some of the areas that may have contributed to this issue include: aging equipment, procedural noncompliance to safety rules, lack of corrective action in response to past investigations, budget shortfalls, and poor communication between management and workers and between departments.<br />
<br />
Response: DuPont safety program (2007 to 2012) to enhance worker KSA and<br />
participation in strengthening safety. Management, regulators and public <br />
attention has intensified. Various initiatives and safety measures to improve<br />
safety for workers and passengers have been initiated and conducted. <br />
<br />
Related Questions: <br />
<br />
Are the resources, budget and leadership in place that are needed to transform the culture of Metro and improve the level of safety? <br />
<br />
Does the culture really need to change and, as some suggest, shift the focus from building the system towards maintaining it? Others argue that demand is expected to surpass capacity by 2025, justifying the major expansion to connect Metro to Tyson’s Corner and Dullas International Airport. Observers claim the system been starved by lack of funding over the years. During times of economic uncertainty, where will the funding come from to build capacity and maintain the system? <br />
<br />
The current Metro GM steps down this spring. Who will take his place? <br />
<br />
Important Disclaimer<br />
<br />
The constellation process can provide an assessment, explanation and solution for an organizational problem. However, the results are hypothetical and can not be accepted<br />
as the reality of the situation until a valid, organizational development assessment is conducted. Until then, the results of the constellation approach have to be seen as one possible hypothesis among the many offered for explaining Metro’s safety issues. <br />
<br />
Process:<br />
<br />
The OC Special Interest Group conducted a problem-solving assessment using the constellation process to see what insight and solutions might emerge. The process first identified the most tangible parts of the system as the following: <br />
<br />
Passengers <br />
Workers (bus and rail)<br />
Supervisors and Management <br />
Federal Regulators (NTSB, DOT, etc)<br />
Equipment and systems<br />
Metro Board<br />
<br />
Other, less tangible, but still relevant, parts of the system included these:<br />
<br />
Budget (capital and operation)<br />
Organizational Culture of Safety <br />
Leadership and teamwork<br />
Equipment Vendors <br />
Operational rules and procedures <br />
<br />
The initial layout started with setting up representatives for the following parts:<br />
equip<br />
V <br />
sops <strong>></strong> < mgt<br />
<strong> ^</strong><br />
worker<br />
<br />
The first observable dynamic was that management seemed pulled in opposing directions. Dealing with equipment and systems was one issue and dealing with the workforce was another. Responding to a crisis in one was often interrupted by needing to respond to a problem in the other. <br />
<br />
The rules and standard operating procedures (SOPs,--known in Metro as “general operating orders”) were added to the system as one of the means to coordinate the interface between equipment and workers. Management moved next to the equipment and faced the workers directly. The workers moved the SOPs away from themselves feeling there should be more space between them. <br />
<br />
Management reacted with indignation, “What are you doing kicking the rules away? They need to be right next to you.” The workers felt that the rules were imposed on them without their input or consideration. The more space there was between them and the rules the more comfortable they felt.<br />
<br />
There was a clear dichotomy in the system. On one side, there was the management and the rules they imposed on the workers for operating the equipment. On the other stood the workers; adamant about protecting their independence and dignity. The more strident management was about the rules, the more the workers felt distrusted and not respected. The workers felt that management was arbitrarily imposing the rules upon them. <br />
<br />
A Shift toward Clarity:<br />
<br />
What could move the situation out of the current stalemate? For a short period of time, the constellation seemed at in a standoff. No particular inspiration came. The distant and hierarchial tone of respresentative for management suggested it was coming from senior or upper management. A gap in constellation became clear and a representative for the first and second line supervisors was added. These supervisors had the role of developing and implementing the new SOPs. Management was impatiently looking to the supervisors for a plan. The supervisors were looking to management for a budget. “Show us the plan then we will talk about the budget!” was countered by the argument, “How can we come up with a plan if we don’t know our budget?” Both sides seemed to be looking for leadership from the other. The workers felt frustrated with the lack of leadership and direction. Instead of being supported in their jobs, they believed they were being set up for failure.<br />
<br />
The supervisors, however, did express their support for the workers. They felt the workers were being, to some extent, unfairly blamed for the safety failures in the system. <br />
<br />
When the workers heard these words of support they relaxed and were less oppositional or resentful. However, they were still not ready to fully embrace the safety program being pushed by senior management; they felt the program was more about PR than about actually protecting the passengers and workers. <br />
<br />
What else need to be acknowledged or included? A representative for the accident victims, both workers and passengers, was brought into the system. The representative entered the constellation in a place where there had been a empty space. The constellation shifted into the arrangement illustrated below:<br />
<br />
equip mgt<br />
V V<br />
<br />
supervisors <strong>></strong> <strong> <</strong> victims<br />
<strong> </strong>sops<strong> > </strong><br />
<strong> ^</strong><br />
workers <br />
<br />
<br />
The representative for the management was asked how she felt about the victims. She had little to say to them and even seemed resentful towards them as if they were the source of the trouble she had to deal with. The representative for the victims felt everyone had let her down and betrayed the trust she had had in them. She felt angry, frustrated and sad. The worker’s representative thought management was trying to make them bear the burden of responsibility for victims. The tension and resentment he felt towards management increased. He asserted management was trying to pass the buck instead of owning that the buck stops with management. <br />
While the supervisors seemed be more sympathetic towards the workers and victims, nothing would shift as long as the management tried to distance itself from the tragedies and breakdowns that had occurred. <br />
Management was asked to apologize to the victims and take responsibility for its part in what happened. It took several tries, but finally the managers were able to articulate their role in the tragedies without hedging. After they said they were sorry to the victims and took responsibility, the workers relaxed and felt more friendly and respectful towards management. “This is what happens when we don’t work together and follow our SOPs,” management told the workers and supervisors, while pointing towards the victims. The workers felt motivated now to move closer to the SOPs and the supervisors. Although they were not asked to, it is possible even more of a shift would have occurred if the supervisor also said they were sorry and took responsibility for their part in what happened. <br />
The manager and equipment lined up with the workers and supervisors and faced the passenger and worker victims. “We must ensure their safety while we transport them,” the manager told the others while gesturing towards the Metro users. All the parts of the system were then aligned towards this purpose. A felt sense of unity that had been missing previously was shared by the representatives in the constellation.<br />
<br />
Summary and Possible Implications <br />
<br />
According to the constellation, the failure of Metro management to apologize and hold themselves accountable for the breakdown of the system and the injuries and deaths has kept the system in a destabilized state. As long as the workers feel blamed and disrespected by senior management, they will be averse to embracing anything management initiates no matter how worthy it might be. Perhaps, in some unconscious way, the workers identify with the victims who might also have felt disrespected and marginalized. The emphasis on new equipment, training and SOPs will not have much remedial impact until there is a management “mea culpa” that publicly takes full responsibility for the safety failures. While the new safety measures might be logical and appropriate, the needed sense of shared responsibility and partnership is not possible when the three key groups--managers, supervisors and workers--are locked in defensive positions. <br />
<br />
A shift in attitude at Metro’s top towards taking responsibility could bring about a corresponding shift in the attitude of the workers. The workers movement towards developing and implementing new safety procedures with the supervisors could be strengthened by the call to fix the system together. As long as they are seen by management as a problem that needs “fixing,” the workers will resist the imposition of rules and, in turn, will see management as the real problem that needs fixing. This is the classic standoff of different organizational levels seeing each other as the problem. Looking together at the safety problem, instead of pointing fingers at each other, will help break down the silos and increase the flow of timely information and ideas.<br />
Getting this new message across will require extensive outreach to and dialogue with the workers on the part of management. It demands an interactive and dynamic style of leadership that is willing to engage directly with staff to discuss difficut issues. <br />
<br />
While the issues of aging equipment, non-compliance with SOPs, expansion of the Metro system, political maneuvering and budget shortfalls all impact the problem-solving process, by themselves they are not source of the Metro’s current challenges. According to the constellation, the critical shift that needs to occur is a movement from management and staff blaming each other to their working toward a more unified organization that will look together at the system’s shortcomings and the opportunities for improvement. The movement towards a solution will come when management is able to find and express a greater sense of humility and personal accountability. Ironically, they first have to hold themselves accountable before they can hold others accountable and clarify their responsibilities. <br />
<br />
Again, it must be emphasized that the above assessment is not necessarily valid, accurate or true. The constellation process offers a potential scenario that should be validated phenomenonally by an organizational development initiative before it can be accepted as more than a hypothesis. It does offer, however, the members of the organization a starting place to look in their search for solutions. <br />

One of those children, Sue, asked for a constellation to explore how to best deal with this issue. Her father, we’ll call him, Edward, was open minded about most things and talked about sharing executive responsibilities with his children. However, in practice, he kept a white knuckled grip on any decision of importance. Representatives were set up for the father, Edward, and the daughter, Sue, the other siblings, Sibs, and the business, F.B. After settling into their roles they were asked to move if they felt inspired to. Within a brief time the following arrangement emerged: <br />
<br />
* Sibs - * Sue (facing their father side by side)<br />
<br />
* Ed (the father facing his children with arms out as if to block their <br />
access to the business)<br />
<br />
* F.B. (the business behind the father)<br />
<br />
<br />
“Ed” reported that he felt protective of the business. The kids were still kids in his eyes. The other siblings, and to some extent, Sue, felt frustrated with their father. They had paid their dues and it had not been easy. The business felt okay and interested in how things would turn out. Ed was honored by the siblings and Sue as their father and the steward of the family business. His contribution would not be forgotten and he would always have a place of honor both in their hearts and at the company office. Ed’s stance softened. He put his arms down but he still felt protective. <br />
<br />
Sue revealed that their family’s business had been founded by Sue’s great grandmother at the beginning of the twentieth century. Her grandfather then ran the business till he passed it on to his son, Sue's father, after he died. Representatives for the great grandmother and the grandfather were placed in the constellation. Ed was asked to face his father. He appeared smaller, as if he was now in the role of being the child who did not have the confidence of his parent. The grandfather turned and faced his mother. He honored her role in founding the business and thanked her for passing it on to him. She handed him a purse (which actually belonged to Sue) to symbolize the responsibility for running the business. The grandfather turned and told the father that here is the responsibility for running the business which I received from my mother. He expressed his confidence in his son and blessed him as he handed him the purse. He and his children would also be good stewards of their family business. <br />
<br />
Ed turned now and faced his children. His children moved closer. They honored their great grandmother as the founder of the business and their grandfather and father in turn as the good stewards who modeled how to keep it prosperous for future generations. Ed held out the purse but did not let go of it. He felt better about letting them participate in running the company, but wondered if they could handle all the responsibility by themselves. The children took hold of the purse. They promised to keep an honored place for him in the company. His voice would be heard when any important matter needed to be considered. They asked for his blessing and the opportunity to become the stewards that he had been. Ed blessed his children and slowly let go of the purse. <br />

</div>Not to be overly dramatic but September 30, 2009 might just be notable in the constellation world. On that date 5 of us used the web based "go to meetings" software to conduct two constellations online. Perhaps a first. The process worked nearly as well, as if we had all been in a room together. This blog will discuss one of the constellations and offer some lessons learned about conducting a constellation online. One huge advantage, of course, is not having to invest time and money in traveling to get to a meeting facility. Log into the gotomeeting website at the designated time, welcome the other participants who connect by phone or headset on their PC's, and begin the constellation. The participants all share the same screen that the meeting facilitator has on his or her PC. As the facilitator for the meeting on the 30th I used a Word document with triangle figures arranged on the document to represent the different people or parts of the question posed by the client. As the representatives reported out I move them by mouse on the screen or made new ones to include. A picture of the document at the end of the constellation, somewhat mangled when I downloaded it for this blog, is in the lower left. The consultant, whom we'll call Fred, had a client he was starting to work with again with after a lapse of several months because of unrelated business issues. Right before he finished his first round of work with his client, a team leader in a large organization, he was confided in by the team leader's boss about his dissatisfaction with the working relation he, the boss, had with the team leader. Fred wanted to take some action on this issue but did not have the opportunity. Now that he was back with the same group he was sure nothing had changed. Yet, what was he going to do about the issue? He believed his client, the team leader. whom he felt loyal to, would feel betrayed and blindsided if he raised the issue unilaterally. Yet not to deal with the issue would not be in her or anyone's best interest. How could he resolve this delimma? The constellation was started with just two representatives, the consultant and the team leader. Fred, the consultant, indicated to the facilitator where to put the two rectangles in relationship to each other. Two participants online were designated just as would be done in any constellation to be Fred and the team leader. After a few moments to settle in they were asked to report their sensations and feelings. Both participants said they got a better connection with the person they were representing by standing up. One placed her laptop flat on the floor and stood where the figures indicated. The other picked an object in the room to represent the other person. The initial report out of a knot in her stomach and wanting to move back on the part of the team leader and feeling like his hands were tied on the part of the consultant were affirmed as accurate by Fred. When the boss was brought in the team leader moved further back and turned to face in the other direction. She felt better when she was looking away from the boss. The boss felt frustrated with the lack of contact and was impatent to have the issue resolved. Fred felt even more under the pressure of a no-win situation. The contract was brought in to more clearly define Fred's role in providing coaching and feedback to the team leader. The team the leader supervised was also included. The team leader appreciated both elements, but not enough to want to turn around and face the boss or the team more directly. The purpose of the organization/team was included. The team leader expressed the sentiment that, finally, here was something she understood. When the purpose was placed in the center of the group she had to turn and face in that direction which she did not like doing. She did not understand the team or the boss so she did not want to deal with them. This attitude shifted when Fred offered to help improve her understanding of others if she would agree to his coaching and feedback as defined in a new contract. Through his coaching and facilitation he would help her engage with her team and align with her boss to accomplish their purpose. <br />

<br />
The final picture for the challenge provided by a business consultant is shown on the right:<br />
The team and the team leader are focused on the<br />
purpose of the organziaton and the boss, consultant<br />
and the contract are all playing a supportive role.<br />
Fred's task requires that he has the agreement and committment of the team leader and her boss to help them improve their communication. By keeping his focus on what the overall system needs to be whole he can keep from being co-opted by a misguided loyalty to the team leader that would reduce his effectiveness in helping her. Fred appreciated the insights he gained from the process. We spent a few minutes discussing the two constellations that were conducted online. The total time for the two sessions was about two hours. <br />
The process may have moved a little slower because<br />
we could not see each others faces. But it also help our connection to the process to wait more for people to speak and try not to all speak at the same time. Given the right group and an a few short breaks there is no reason the online sessions could not run longer. The session was taped, but for confidentality purposes it won't be put on line. Hopefully, a future session can by made public and a link put on my website, teambuildingassociates.com so others can experience working online and see how well it works.Harrison Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17183181147837909915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668557806251128485.post-73622249734089524352009-09-08T15:22:00.000-07:002009-09-08T15:22:24.719-07:00Workplace ConflictAt a recent workshop the theme was addressing conflict in the workplace<br />
using the constellation approach. Some interesting insights emerged about the actual source of a conflict and how to address it unilaterally. It may take two to tango as some people are fond of saying but it only takes one to change the tune or the tempo or stop the dance all together: <br />
<br />
Vision Crossing<br />
<br />
A professional was upset with her boss. He said all the right things about consultative leadership and the importance of open and honest feedback. He declared at staff meetings his door was open for input and feedback and anything else that would take the organization to the next level. She liked what he preached but felt in practice he dismissed out of hand her ideas, concerns or requests. She was continually frustrated with his lack of responsiveness. She was not the only person who felt unheard and disregarded and could always borrow a sympathetic ear for venting her complaints. But she also knew this cycle of frustration and complaining was a waste of her time and energy. She wanted to have more influence, but lacking that, at least find a way to be at peace with the situation. She was asked to pick a representative for herself and for her boss. Surprisingly, she was reluctant to do that out of fear of picking the wrong person. Two people volunteered and she set them up in the field. <br />
<br />
Boss Professional<br />
<br />
<br />
After the representatives settled into the field the facilitator walked around the edge of the constellation and noticed something. He invited the professional to stand beside him and look at the representatives. Clearly they were looking at something in the distance, each in their own field of vision. Representatives were placed where they were looking. When the representative for the professional saw the vision had been placed where she was looking she smiled. <br />
<br />
Boss Professional<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
professional's Boss's <br />
vision vision<br />
<br />
The boss and the professional each had their own vision. The visions did not necessary conflict with each other, but it did mean their priorities would differ. All that mattered to the boss was his vision. He was not antagonistic to the vision of the professional. She could do whatever she wanted. He just did not want to be distracted from what he was focused on. This was a revelation to the professional. She had not realized she did not need her boss’s approval or praise to achieve her vision. He had already empowered her to do what she wanted to do. What she really wanted was his approval like a child would want the attentive approval of a parent. She did not actually need his attention to move towards her vision. If fact, if he was not so focused on his vision he might try to spend more time managing her, something that would not be to her advantage or liking. <br />
<br />
Another person was placed in the middle of the group to represent the overlap between the two visions. As long as that person did not block the view the boss and professional had of their visions everyone felt fine with it. This arrangement worked for short time but the combined vision soon grew tired and felt the need to withdrawal. <br />
The professional took the place of her representative in the constellation. Asked what she needed, she reported she felt she had the support and resources she required. She knew her boss represented the approval and attention her mother failed to give her, but she did not want to go into that. She felt ready to move forward and embrace her vision. She did just that and the constellation was complete. <br />

<br />
<br />
There may be other blogs on sestemic, business or organizational constellations, but if so this is the first one I am aware of. If you are interested in enhansing the performance of an organization, looking at the systemic issues and helping foster change and engagement you should find some useful insights and ideas here. If you want to enhanse your own performance or that of others this blog should also be helpful. <br />
<br />
My plan is to post monthly at least one constellation I've done with a client. It may not be the most recent to protect confidentailty but it should be instructive and interesting. Your feedback and questions, whether you are highly skilled and experienced in facilitating constellations or a total newcomer, will certainly help deepen our collective understanding of this new and profound process for gaining insights and solutions into organizational or personal peformance challenges. <br />
<br />
Take a look at this constellation that was done during an consulting assignment in South American. Working systemically I believe has helped me help my clients with greater speed and depth. Without getting sidetracked by the he said/she said, we get to what is really behind the story or stories to that place where a shift can make a difference and things start moving again. Your comments and questions are welcome.<br />
All the best ,<br />

CASE STUDY: Constellation Choir <span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">A government ministry for education was put in charge of organizing a new, national “head start” program for kindergarteners. A retreat was organized to strengthen policy setting functions, conduct strategic and implementation planning and achieve the level of teamwork within the entire unit needed to successfully implement the new program.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Before the retreat the facilitators conducted their own planning constellation. S</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">itting on the beach near the conference center they created a knowing field in the sand to represent the different ministry groups that would be participating at the retreat. They believed representing physically the data they had gained from the needs assessment might give them some insights into how to best facilitate the unit. They had heard during the assessment there was a conflict between two key individuals who would be attending. How might this affect the proceedings? How could it be mitigated? Using small sticks stuck in the sand they placed the different participants and groups in relationship to each other. Reporting out was done by touching a stick and giving voice to what the person or group it represented might have to say. Using this process it appeared that the Minister’s attention was other places besides starting up the new program. The different groups faced away from each other, seemingly to pursue their own agendas. Two of those group leaders (really subgroups) felt their viewpoints were not respected by the other leader. This resentment might have come in part from a difference in communication styles. Two solutions emerged from the constellation. Establishing and affirming norms of mutual respect through reflective listening might help reduce some of the misunderstanding that fed the current tension between the two men. Creating together a clear and authentic vision for the unit could help focus the efforts of the different groups and improve information sharing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">The ministry had gathered 40 participants at a conference center for several days and hoped that a viable strategic plan would emerge from the proceeding. Before the unit could really consider its options how could the concerns and suggestions of its stakeholders and partners become part of this process? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">All the participants were mid or senior level staff from the ministry. There were no recent polls or surveys to draw upon. Was there a way these other voices could be heard? At the beginning of the planning process small five groups were formed at random. Each group represented a voice that needed to be heard. The groups included, the ministry, teachers, parents, school administrators and of course, the children. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Each group was given time to prepare a presentation on their wants, needs and concerns related to the new program. All the members of each small group were asked to participate in the presentation. This rule created a more interactive and skit like atmosphere. As each group took its turn in the front of the room the feeling grew stronger that the information provided truly gave voice to what the actual stakeholders would have communicated had they been in the room. Although the process was lighthearted and playful, especially when the “children” took their turn, comparing and contrasting the different perspectives helped identify interconnected issues that needed to be part of the planning process. Each group had written their goals down on flipcharts. When put next to each other the combined goals unexpectedly turned out to be the shared vision of the program that had been lacking. This exercise was a high point for all the participants in that space had been made for differences and their related emotions to be expressed not only without blame and but with humor and good will. Although the Minister was frequently texting during the sessions or out of the room talking on his cell phone, he was sufficiently involved to affirm his commitment to the vision the unit had created. At the end of the retreat, as participants shared what they were taking away and the new actions they were committing to, a surprising comment was made. One of the two leaders who had had difficult relationship stood up and said that he did not know exactly why or how it had happened but now he felt like he and his colleague could work together and he was looking forward to a new relationship and a new beginning.</span> </span><br />
